sick series.

boring as hell game 3 though, sit back on two base and let the tech choices made blidnly without any scouting decide the winner irrespective of macro, micro, or positioning. a game that doesn't show anything about the winner unfortunately, i felt a lot better about Nani in game 1 where he outplayed MC as opposed to this crap.


Naniwa didn't outplay MC in game one. It was a build order win. That's why PvP is so stupid, most games aren't decided by skill but by which build order you blindly picked, the reason MC is so good in PvP (as opposed to basically anyone else) is that he is able to win often when his build order is worse than the others guys (see game 2 in this series).

I agree with you, first game came down to decision making but in the last game Naniwa just out-microed MC tbh.


The micro didn't matter much. It was the 2-0 upgrade advantage that won it for Naniwa, no amount of micro could have overcome that. Seems MC's big weakness is not having good upgrade timings as it was a large part of his loss to Thorzain as well.

Indeed he can. The Grandfinals don't give a large advantage to the winners bracket player. Only 1 map in a bo7.


Wait, what?

Double elimination tournaments have their rules for a reason. If it's 1 BO7, then if Nani and MC meet in the grand finals, that means that MC could win that BO7 and win the entire tournament after losing a BO series, while Nani hadn't lost a single one until then.


TaKe already said the one coming from the Loser bracket will be 0-1.

Is that 0-1 in games in a BoX, or 0-1 in series, with it being a Bo3 BoX?


0-1 in the Bo7

NANI WINS! USA! USA! USA!


NANI is swedish dude.

I am pretty sure it was sarcastic


It is a reference from when Huk won dreamhack... Some crazy americans thought he was from the states :o
So short answer: Trolling


He's from Florida.

We need to go over this every time HuK does well in a tournament, I guess. =P

He was born to Canadian parents, but lived in Florida until he was 16. I don't think we know where he was born, only that he spent essentially all of his life up to that point in the US. That would make him a Canadian living in America, or a Canadian-American. Either one is acceptable unless we know he was born in the US, in which case I would go with Canadian-American. When he was 16, he moved to Canada (...Toronto, I think?). So, when he started playing SCII, he was known as a Canadian player, because that's where he lived.

He seems to be fine with playing under the Canadian flag, but it's not like anybody asked him before listing him as Canadian on the TLPD, Liquipedia, and other resources. People often seem to think that he's more Canadian than American, whatever that may mean, but it doesn't really matter. HuK has connections to both Canada and the US, and one day Team Liquid will have to produce a documentary with a major cinematic release to settle the matter in the minds of fans.

Edit:
My source is that interview he gave one time, at MLG or whatever. You know the one. :|

Imagine MC wins everything in the loser bracket and gets to play Naniwa in the Grand finals, then Naniwa will be up 1:0 in a best of 7.
Hopefully now everyone understands it!

QUESTION - Did anyone bring MC a NOS after his loss? If so, they're ALL fucked.

Its also the zerg who dominated his group 6-0, beat HuK 2-0 and stomped the lower bracket so far. I dont think he takes this tho, not enough expreience at that level
